This is great footage!!! My dad is the drummer in this footage! I dont have any video of when he played with The Twilights. I have alot of audio tapes but no footage. Any chance i can get ahold of some of this footage LeonThe4th? My dad (Frank Barnard) passed away a few years back and would be good to get a collection together.

Thanks again for this upload, it means alot.

@TheMungiman Hi again, I sent you the DVD over Xmas, but haven't heard anything from you...so I'm assuming you never got it? Noel

What year did this come out????

[LeonThe4th]

May 1966, their 4th single whilst still based in Adelaide. 6 weeks later in June 1966 they released Bad Boy/It's Dark...by then they were living in Melbourne, so they issued yet another single, this time "Needle In A Haystack" (in Aug 1966). That 45 went to No.1 all over Australia...the rest is history...By the way, I showed this clip to Terry Britten a couple of years back, and he said it was their first TV appearance anywhere (Channel 9, Tynte St, Nth Adelaide), and that he'd never seen it!

whats the point of that guy standing next to the bassist lol is he the host?

[LeonThe4th]

His dual vocals were a huge part of the Twilight's "sound"...vocal harmonies etc...without him they would not have sounded quite so full...vocally.

@B17b25guy Yes, there is a great interview with John Bywaters, their bass player.

The next issue of 'Shindig' magazine should have a piece on The Twilights according to the promo on their site.

For some this is history, for me, I saw this band live many times in my youth, Terry Britten playing Sitar in Festival Hall in Brisbane. One of my favourites from my youth....still good after all these years.

[TheMungiman]

Hi!!! Sorry for the late reply. I did get that dvd you sent me. I love the cover you put on it. Thank you so much!!! All my brothers are also extremely appreciative. It is amazing to have footage of him playing that old slingerland. I still have the drum kit that is on this video too!!

Thanks again!!
